THERE are spots on the Suns brightness: and this earth of ours is world of con trasts. It was sad sight yesterday, that array of Christmas jewellers led from the Police Station cells to the Court Room of the City Hall. They had all taken that ssfirst glass" the avoidance of which would have been their safety; the compliments of the season led to the second; the social ob- igations of good fellowship broke down the barriers: and before they knew it they were fitting subjects for police attention and magisterial adjudication Yes, it was a sad and sorry sight Fathers of fami-

 The Christmas Day of Home was, we feel assured, happy sequence of the re- ligious service. Family reunions, ,fraternal interchange of love, hospitality to the strangers within our gates, and charity to the desolate and the afflicted. All these observances and attributes were embraced in the Church lessons and parables of the morning. The stpeace" and S'good will'' of the gospel teaching were designed for more enduring effect than the earnest inculca- tions from the pulpit or the devotional re- ception in the pews on Christmas Day. They are for practical use all the year round. The anniversary of the festi- val passes with the day, but it's influences abide for all time. The holidays are yet with us, and we may shed around still some holiday benefcence. We can have Christmas all the time if we -Yill-Christ- mas for the next six months, in happy re- membranes of the enjoyment experienced and the happiness we have bestowed on others; Christmas for the six months thereafter in anticipation of the delight to come, and the good that we may do should

AND now for the New Year with it's own round of gifts and graciousness-mid night visitations to welcome the birth hour of 1888-to ring bells in joy that the old year, which we hailed with such de- monstrative acclaim only twelve little months ago, has to retire before the ad- vent of younger brother; and when the midday comes to make ''calls'' in many cases 'Emore honored in the breach than the observance;' e;''-and compli- ment the women of the family by the consumption of their wines. We are not opposed to the interchange of New Years good wishes, but the, thing is sometimes sadly overdone. The holiday gift sellers, and other traders in matters of ornaments and utility, will this week look up again and recommend their stocks as particular ly suited for the New Years opening Well, so they are. A week makes no diff ference in beauty, however value may di- minish. At any rate the advertisers in the DEMOCRAT may be depended on for genu- inc articles at moderate prices.-We ad- wise Captain Cuttle's policy.-"When found make note of it!''

THE taxation of the City Real Estate is a burning topic in the community. We have received numerous letters on the inc quality of assessments, alleging favoritism in regard of rich corporations and mil ionaire individuals, with the inevitable accompaniment, that the comparatively poor property holder is made Ito pay the piper" for the rich mans dancing in inn munity. Not one of these letters present any special tangible facts At the same time we have no doubt that there are in stances of partial discrimination. But the first step for parties believing them selves aggrieved, is to make appeal on facts from the decrees of the Board of Assessors to the adjudication of the Board of Relief. This latter Board will meet on Monday next and continue their sessions on each Thursday, Friday and Monday thereafter until the 22nd of January.

lies, sons and brothers marched through the chief thoroughfares in broad daylight, meeting the pitying gaze of sober publlc in the first instance; and then the pc nal decree of justice. We have no desire to reproach them for their indiscretion. They had suffered enough, poor devils, in the thought of how wives, children and friends had passed the Christmas day as consequences of their indulgence. We only hope that the lesson will be read aright, and that the helpless victims of the festive excess will accept the teaching as an effective temperance lecture.
 SNOW again. The s'beautifur' may be said to be now an institution, and we must reconcile ourselves to a non-sight of the green grass for months to come. It is not beneath our mission to put in plea for the
 little birds-including the much decrled sparrow. There is, we are taught, "a special providence in the fall of spar row." He did not come to us unasked or uninvited he was brought from his na- tive plains in the idea, that, ,insectivorous, he would exterminate the grubs and worms on farm lands; he has not fulfilled the ex- pectation but on the contrary has hunted off the native bird that had served as the farmers friend; he is very bold, very ag- gressive, but very confident in mans pro lection. Laws have been levelled against his life, bnt he seems to enj joy his liberty in our streets notwithstanding. Let us not hasten his end in this snow time by the process of starvation. No more practical lesson could be taught by father to his children than that of pity for the little stranger. It would be & first step in the great duty of humanity. And if the chil- dren of household-ay, and the children of larger growth-would gather handful of crumbs from the table and scatter them broadcast in the street-or better, clear a place on the window sill or balcony to which the birds could resort in assurance of supply, it would be costless but con- soling exercise Remember the words o1 the poet:
 | He prayeth well who loveth well,
 All beings both great and small For the same God who loveth us
 Hath made-and loves them all.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10.
ORIGIN OF THE CnMErGRY.-Th Jews

ORIGIN OF THE CEMETERY.-TheJ Jews
used to bury their dead under the earth,
and this mode seems to have been the ear
lest in USE Egypt embalmed her corpses'
and the earlier Greeks aud Romans consum-
ed the body after death by fire, the ashes
only receiving sepulture. Subsequently in
those nations this practice fell into disuse
at least partly and Their their dead bodies
were buried in vaults or chambers under
ground, such as the Catacombs. In ancient
Rome the bodies of her most ilustrious sons
were permitted to be buried unburned,, as
special mark Of favor, within the walls OF
the city. The next step was the erection OF
churches over the graves of martyrs. linen
emperors and kings were admitted to sar-
cophagi within the church walls. The ex.
tension of this practice was the origin OF
churcbyards. These, in crowded towns. be-
came unhealthy and offensive, and sanitary
measures demanded burial without the walls
of the city. Thus grew the beautiful res
tine-places of the dead, which, with their
trees, flowers, landscape gardening, ana
works of monumental art, we call cemeter-
les. The word Cemetery" by the way,
means slumber-place, and is of Christian
origin.

Alexantlria Gazette.

gleSantlria Gazette.
The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper in
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS ofits existence. IN
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chronl-
cling of the history ofwhatis going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside OF The
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part ofthc world hence
its patrons can resd from its columns in the
evening what has transpred that day in
every portion of our own domain as well as
from every part of the habitabie globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE q great desideratum with mer-
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of the State, is pub
lished regularly. and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
monwealth are TO be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
The CAVITIES circulation is steadily in-
oreasing, especially among people who con-
suit lis advertising columns before purchas'
ing. That this is self-evident may be infer
red from the fact that large country ed
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section of country three tines
week, and is read by thousands, most OF
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages OF adj
yertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
parent.
